A two-year-old girl identified as having a rare dwarfism weighed only 7 lbs.

Emily Lee, a 25-year-old woman from Louisiana, has a baby named Abigail Lee who suffers from a rare condition known as Microcephaly Type II Primary Dwarfism. Due to this condition, Abigail will only reach a height of approximately 24 inches. Emily discovered during her pregnancy that her baby wasn't growing at a normal rate, and when Abigail was born via caesarean section, she weighed just 2 pounds 9 ounces. Despite these challenges, Emily must ensure that Abigail wears clothes that fit her tiny frame.

On her birthday, Abigail will still weigh 7 pounds since she is gaining 2 grams daily from her initial weight of 1 ounce. As she grows older, there might be challenges to address, especially when she's old enough to express her preference not to wear diapers and baby clothes anymore.

Despite her small stature, Abigail consumes food normally. However, due to her size, she faces limitations in performing many activities that a typical two-year-old would be able to do. Her toys are significantly smaller in comparison to those of kids her age. She can only use the table and chairs that are set up for her Barbie dolls.

As Abigail continues to grow, it will be essential for her family to adapt and find suitable solutions to support her needs and provide her with the best possible quality of life.

During pregnancy, Abigail's mother noticed that Abigail's development was consistently three weeks behind the typical growth milestones. When Abigail was born via cesarean section at 36 weeks, she was immediately placed in intensive care due to her tiny size. Despite her small stature, she displayed normal breathing and eating patterns. At the time, Abigail's parents had never heard of the dwarfism condition she had, and they were unaware of what it entailed. They searched for months to find someone who had experienced a similar ailment and could provide assistance.

It wasn't until Abigail was 8 weeks old that she received an official diagnosis of her condition, even though her parents had already recognized that she was growing significantly slower than usual. During that time, Abigail had to stay hospitalized, but eventually, she was allowed to return home with her 25-year-old mother, Bryann, and her 4-year-old sister, Samantha. As Abigail continues her journey, her family is committed to providing her with the care and support she needs to thrive despite her unique challenges.

Abigail is a healthy child, but she faces some complications as she was born with a dislocated hip, which hinders her ability to walk. However, she is undergoing therapy and can crawl. Additionally, she has poor eyesight, which made finding the right glasses a challenging process for her family.

Striking a balance between meeting the needs of a child with special requirements like Abigail and providing attention to her older sister, Samantha, who doesn't have special needs, can be difficult. Samantha understands that her sister requires more help, and she lovingly supports and engages with Abigail in everything they do. Their parents are grateful to have both daughters in their lives, and they are committed to ensuring that their children live healthy and happy lives. No matter the challenges they face, the parents will always try their best to ensure the well-being and happiness of their children.
